I have 12oz of weights (3 x 4oz inline) siliconed into the inside of pipe which seems to define a bottom line orientation, not unlike filling a sailboat with rocks/lead. I still might have to put a keel-like spline though along the bottom?

I also changed out the ss eye (open gap) with a galv closed loop eye so the pulling cable attachment has no chance to slip through a gap. I hope to find a 2 - 2 1/2" x 3/8" ss closed loop eye bolt.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
